help

[pale tapir]

the reactions were the answer to the question
wisadel, exialt, hoshi, tragodia (cat), proviso

[bleak marsh]

haha i rerolled a lot in the exu2 banner

[random shard]

You are in #help

[lyric lagoon]

#help message

[copper schooner]

[bleak marsh]

this is my side account

[lyric lagoon]

then you should already have knowledge

[copper schooner]

it was 2 days ago

[gray mulch]

Bro just came here to flex

[bitter anvil]

💸

[abstract mauve]

can someone rate my side account as well?

[lunar apex]

Does it have wis ?

[bleak marsh]

yeo i rerolled like 1000 accounts 🙁 but kinda unlucky with this banner haha not really i kinda fell stuck with this one i need to get around 49 to guanranteed sakiko

[abstract mauve]

not yet. planning to spark her

[wild cedar]

What the I’m curious send it

[copper schooner]

how do you not know how to build ur own acc when you already have them e2 on a diff acc

[candid prairie]

ummm should I pull for uika I got sakiko twice and already have the free band members

[dense dawn]

Will silverash alter be next limited banner or am I forgetting someone else

[copper schooner]

oh RA is not battle pass it a shop?

[dense dawn]

Thanks

[bleak marsh]

This is my main account, but I’m kind of scared of wasting my resources, so I only level up the characters I’ve been told are really good. I already hit pity for Sakiko on that account, so now I’m focusing on my side account, but I’m kind of stuck with the side account

[shadow bay]

well that e1 can be an indication of he just mindlessly investing ops... albeit its not gonna be a waste later on, i can see he have lmd struggles

[haughty oasis]

Shit like lootbar is against tos right?

[arctic hawk]

No but yes

[gray mulch]

Only if you care about mujica or have fomo

Keep in mind we also get 10 more free pulls soon

[candid prairie]

I forgot thank you!

[lyric lagoon]

indication of just wanting to flex while having another acc with them e2 fully raised

[abstract mauve]

my friend wanted advice on who to build

[gray mulch]

Build shining

[lyric lagoon]

ho’ol and carnelian top prio

[wanton meadow]

I wish i came back earlier during exu alter

[signal dragon]

wow you guys are sleeping on eben smh

[copper schooner]

ho ol is mod fr

[wild cedar]

If your friend doesn’t build Thorns I’ll cry

[lunar apex]

bench all of those build blemishine

[signal dragon]

if they do build thorns I'll cry

[abstract mauve]

ill tell him thorns is good. but ye hool and carnelian seems to be what people here recommended

[barren niche]

I kinda forgot about the livestream betting event
I can finish that within a few hours right?

[gray mulch]

I don't think it even takes a few hours

[barren niche]

[fossil urchin]

Should I still get Typhon or nah?

[wild cedar]

Yeah

[lunar apex]

most helpful #help advice:

[fossil urchin]

Aight aight. I get it. I won't get Typhon.

[sly sigil]

Typhon is mostly just laneholder slop and you already have laneholders so youre fine

[fossil urchin]

Ok. Understood. I'll hold on to my gold certs for now.

[lyric lagoon]

we have better stuff coming like ray and logos anyways

[copper schooner]

was ange in cert recently?

[fossil urchin]

Ooooh. Really? When will Logos come back?

[lyric lagoon]

tail end of this year

[ancient current]

or before if he appears in an orienteering banner

[fossil urchin]

Demn. So probably the Ber months huh.

[ancient current]

but in certs shop ya you'll have to wait for a hot while

[wild cedar]

Yeah he’s not even in certs yet on CN

[fossil urchin]

Ahhh. Despair. I kinda want him and Tragodia. Although iirc Tragodia is a limited unit. Sigh...

[ancient current]

tragodia is standard

[copper schooner]

trag rerunning

[fossil urchin]

Wait really?

[ancient current]

yes

[fossil urchin]

Let's go. That's nice to hear. Hope he gets a rerun soon.

[ancient current]

in a bit less than a year

[signal dragon]

he will, a year after debut banner

[fossil urchin]

Sigh... I hope he spooks me when Silverash alter and Pramanix alter comes around. Gonna buy the monthly pack next month to prepare

[severe crypt]

Offrate hool

[gray mulch]

Why would you say something so horrible

[fossil urchin]

If that happens I will pray that when you eat rice, you chew on a tiny pebble at full force. For eternity.

[ancient current]

get back on topic

[copper schooner]

does anyone have a list for the kernel banner ops in order

[ancient current]

I have this

[shadow bay]

ange alter

[ancient current]

that's Monch

[copper schooner]

why is she doing shrooms

[ancient current]

anyways

[red cradle]

So uhhh, has anyone seen this before? Nevertheless had both. What tags would you choose?

[ancient current]

it's not uncommon to have both

supporter or shift works
who do you already have?

[shadow bay]

gurantee weedy with + shift

gamble suzu with +supporter

[red cradle]

Is she the little girl with the fox ears?

[ancient current]

yes

[red cradle]

Think I have her, who else should I check for

[ancient current]

weedy then

[shadow bay]

weedy then

[urban sleet]

.

[red cradle]

Is their name just weedy?

[shadow bay]

she a specialist push stroker

[light lotus]

which level or map is best for trust farm coz i need level 50 trust on saki for mod2

[shadow bay]

trust point gained is based on sanity spend, 1:1 ratio

[red cradle]

Lmfao no way

[ancient current]

just farm the event, 50% more trust for ops from the event banner

[light lotus]

ouh i see

[red cradle]

Shift fell off, guess what

[rain forge]

A lot of operators use a code name instead of their actual name

That’s more of a #ak-lore topic tho

[wild cedar]

Tbh I don’t understand why it’s weedy not Wendy

[rain forge]

@wild cedar

[ancient current]

not a discussion for this channel anyway

[rain forge]

don’t ask how I predicted your message

[ancient current]

actually funny
well hey you got gold certs that's a win

[red cradle]

WELP, thanks for the help all lol

[tender spruce]

S1 or S2 for Nyamu?

[wild cedar]

If you must, S2

[rain forge]

s2 for hitcount

[glass cipher]

anyone got a cheatsheet for this duel channel? 😭

[gray mulch]

You don't need one

[glass cipher]

[coarse notch]

you can just afk it

[shadow bay]

i dont think its reliable to make one anyway

[glass cipher]

oh what

[gray mulch]

Yeah because the numbers and positioning are random

[urban sleet]

Ppl have won gift contests by skipping all rounds

[gray mulch]

Gift contest?

[coarse notch]

i won once by just afking, its just a gambling gamemode

[wild cedar]

Prts will either choose a side or skip it for you (depending on the mode you’re playing)

[urban sleet]

The gambling event in middle

[glass cipher]

ok ill just afk it zzz

do i need to add like 10000 random friends like in endfield

onlyhave 1 friend rn

[gray mulch]

Oh it's called gift contest lol I thought some streamer was handing out gifts or smth

[urban sleet]

Public lobbies are fine

[glass cipher]

no, i ment in general for progresing

[gray mulch]

Adding friends will be helpful for borrowing but doesn't matter for gambling mode

[urban sleet]

Well more friends = better credit wallet + more options for good support units

[wild cedar]

You don’t, but it’s nice to have, I guess ppl in this chat who have their id on don’t mind being added

[urban sleet]

kay adding you two

[glass cipher]

yea those credits

[gray mulch]

Says the person with their id on

Yeah I still have empty slots

[glass cipher]

ill send some

[candid prairie]

is my team decent for story

[ancient current]

wildest squad i've seen this month

[urban sleet]

E2 myrrh

[candid prairie]

LMAO

[severe crypt]

E2 Jess is MAAD

[urban sleet]

Oh wtf that's og jess not the alter

[arctic hawk]

bro pressed everywrong button because they were cute 😭

[ancient current]

uh i guess that works sure
use quercus s1 and amiya s1

[severe crypt]

Did you roll a dice to figure out which 4 star to e2 🥹

[proper kindle]

Am I able to post an image from krooster to ask if any of these operators is good?

[ancient current]

just send the link

[urban sleet]

Share the link we trust krooster links

[gray mulch]

I take a tax of one clue 4 a day

[proper kindle]

Oh does it save searches too?

[ancient current]

[candid prairie]

I just remember using them like um

several years ago

[wild cedar]

Don’t be this afraid of moderators lol you’re fine

[winter crystal]

this is like a waifu team not an actual team 🫂

[ancient current]

no wait i think they're talking about something different

[proper kindle]

I'll redo my question then, is any other brawler besides mountains any good? (Despite him being decent from what I heard)

[ancient current]

chongyue

any brawler that isn't a 6* is shit

[proper kindle]

Piss

[candid prairie]

ill replace jess and myrrh

[gray mulch]

I thought they're called fighter

[ancient current]

same thing

[urban sleet]

It's brawler/fighter iirc

[gray mulch]

Bit late now they're already e2 just use them for now

[candid prairie]

I use the free thingy from event since im a new player

[proper kindle]

I thought they were called brawlers...is it a previous name? Like soloblade and musha

[ancient current]

yes

[gray mulch]

You picked unfortunate ops to use them on

[urban sleet]

I am tempted to ask the condition of your base

[proper kindle]

Ohhhh gotcha

[candid prairie]

is it cooked

[winter crystal]

well like you said should be plenty fine for most of the story just use the ops youve leveled so far for now

[gray mulch]

Well, 4 star ops are cheaper to raise at least. I hope you at least like the characters lol

[proper kindle]

I love my 4*

[ancient current]

definitely an interesting squad but it'll work for general content

[urban sleet]

Have you raised base slaves

[candid prairie]

my jess obsession took over sorry guys

[ancient current]

valid

[wild cedar]

It’s ok

[proper kindle]

The only other op that isn't a 4 stars that I like is mountain

Am I thinking stupidly? Probably but eh

[winter crystal]

her idle animation is cute in base

[ancient current]

remember that this is the help channel

[proper kindle]

Mah bad

[gray mulch]

There's 4 star only players

[wild cedar]

I wouldn’t say it’s stupid, it’s fine lol

[candid prairie]

is there any old free event healers I could use

[wild cedar]

Eh try to look for other ones

[gray mulch]

Lumen but you should have 5 star healers from voucher

[proper kindle]

Isn't sussuro a good one?

[gray mulch]

Yes sussurro and perfumer from recruit

[candid prairie]

errr this is all I have

[wild cedar]

They’re asking about old free event healers

[proper kindle]

I am planning to E2 her first as a medic and perfumer

[ancient current]

keyword free

[young glacier]

Purestream is more likely to get recruited

[ancient current]

sussurro will work well

[gray mulch]

You have the good 4 star healers

[proper kindle]

Oh my bad right

[ancient current]

i'm afraid hibalter is about as good as ansel

[proper kindle]

Damn really?

[candid prairie]

damn

[wild cedar]

Just keep using the first two on your list for now, don’t spend more resources on medic

[candid prairie]

okeokeoke

[proper kindle]

I was looking forward to her myself since I heard lavalter wasn't that good

Maybe hibalter would be but guess not

[gray mulch]

E1 suss is good

[ancient current]

i'm exaggerating but she really isn't made for healing
she's got some CC and dmg but that doesn't do much against actual threats, and her healing is nonexistent if she doesn't manage to proc all s2 ticks
she's a very solid op for 5*knights (especially low op clears) but beyond that she doesn't do anything worth your time and resources
use sussurro

at least she's better than vendela

[wild cedar]

I feel like they need to raise Sakiko (mod and mastery) first so they have a good nuke skill

[tepid heart]

Should i pull? already did the free 10 pull

[candid prairie]

should I work on getting mod?

[wild cedar]

Just for sakiko

[gray mulch]

She needs to be level 60 trust 50 for mod

[candid prairie]

thats so expensive

[ancient current]

tad dry on pulls but you can try
if you're weary of expending your pulls too much you can wait for the 2nd free 10x and see from there

[gray mulch]

We get another free 10 pulls on day 8 login

[wild cedar]

You are good without her, but she’s a nice addition so up to you

[gray mulch]

Just wait for free 10

[tepid heart]

oh okay, ill do that then

[urban sleet]

Ik you didn't ask for squad advice but you can drop myrtle, ines good enough on her own to print dp

[tepid heart]

oh it was a squad for an anni

[winter crystal]

Lvl 61 Ines?

[urban sleet]

One vg usually works for anni

[tepid heart]

listen, her hp was 1999 okay?

[gray mulch]

Trag wants l82mod3 or l88mod2 btw

[tepid heart]

bold of you to assume i have resources >:(

[wild cedar]

He’s worth the investment

[urban sleet]

may I ask about your base

[winter crystal]

Enough to put one extra lvl in Ines but Haruka sits at lvl 1

[tepid heart]

i havent been playing much alr?

[gray mulch]

Haruka sitting at s1 too what did she do damn

[wild cedar]

Bro just let go

[floral jay]

is Sakiko's S2 better than Thorn's s3?

[urban sleet]

Tbh not playing much explains the resource issue, totally valid reason

[urban sleet]

Thorns is dead outside of afknights or maleknights/iberiannights, let him retire now

[gray mulch]

Third mod will save him :copium:

[tepid heart]

haruka best skill was s2 right?

[winter crystal]

So he’s not the mid to late game lane holder gen chat said he was, ??

[gray mulch]

Gen chat's definition of late game is like chapter 9

[wild cedar]

I don’t think anyone said that, we said he requires e2 to use but that doesn’t mean anything else

[urban sleet]

last I checked gen chat someone was ragetyping in caps about this event's enemies

[subtle pecan]

this chat is all about meta, ofc he is not as good as the best lane holders atm

[wild cedar]

Oh gen chat, nvm

[urban sleet]

It's okay I still use thorns until I got sakiko that is

[severe crypt]

Offrate hool

[urban sleet]

"Got"

[solemn iron]

any IS6 people wanna give me advise

[gray mulch]

Can we just stop bringing him up my boy only gets dunked here

[severe crypt]

Good

[candid prairie]

is it okay to skip next month banner for silver ash alt

[urban sleet]

All pros are in #is-station

[solemn iron]

ty

[severe crypt]

Mantra isn’t allat most will skip her anyway

[winter crystal]

we can talk about how "good" thorns alt is instead

[urban sleet]

Banner priority in pins, and silverash2 banner is the next good banner to pull on

[candid prairie]

ohh okay thank you guys

[wild cedar]

Ok he’s great in stronghold protocol II, I mean seriously

[gray mulch]

😭 stop

[urban sleet]

What's strobghold protocol

[winter crystal]

RA unironically

[urban sleet]

[severe crypt]

Stfu RA is nowhere near sp

[echo hinge]

who is #1 vanguard between ines and Silverash2? and whatever else

[wild cedar]

Daily sash2, CC ines

[urban sleet]

Ines has more utility, I think sa2 is better at getting your ops out faster? not sire tho

[coarse notch]

too different to compare
generally speaking ines

[echo hinge]

what about that guy on M i forgot name of

[ancient lotus]

If ines gets to attack continuously, not really.

[gray mulch]

Matsukiri?

[hot rapids]

If an Operator talks about being the Captain, do they do something extra in the game?

[echo hinge]

Myy something

[ancient lotus]

Otherwise yes salter has a pretty good dp gen on the first skill

[gray mulch]

Mlynar?? Not a vanguard

[ancient current]

myrtle
that's not a guy

[echo hinge]

i thought he was 😂

[ancient current]

[severe crypt]

How many of y’all play on mute

[urban sleet]

Everything 12 dp and below isn't a vanguard

[wild cedar]

why I thought no one would messed up vanguard and guard

[winter crystal]

Full volume at work

[echo hinge]

I can't tell the difference between the icons sometimes, in fact i also thought exu2 was supposed to be the same type as walter

[gray mulch]

I mean she's effectively a sniper so understandable

[winter crystal]

they both melee so they must be the same 🥀

[gray mulch]

Just take off 3 letters and it's the same

[urban sleet]

Tacticians 🥀

[knotty wave]

😐 Eye issue

[ancient current]

get back on topic

[echo hinge]

so does silverash2 generate DP?

[ancient current]

he is a vanguard, so yes

[echo hinge]

as fast as ines?

[coarse notch]

that depends on if ines can hit continuously as cube said up above

[gray mulch]

His gimmick is that he can manipulate dp cost to make your ops cheaper. Same subclass as matsukiri

[echo hinge]

i guess I can't read because i read his skills and i thought he only lowers the cost and swaps

[coarse notch]

read his s3

[sleek dust]

I was doing random recruitments because I'd accumulated quite a lot and I was like (Oh it'd be funny if). It was funny, but now I need help. I've been looking at the guide and... Should I yolo the ranged tag for a chance at Ceobe or should I just go for a 50/50 chance of getting Suzuran?

[ancient current]

go suzu ya

[pearl zinc]

Just yolo it

[gray mulch]

Suzu

[sleek dust]

Ok that's two votes suzu, I'll probably go for her then. Does she mainly just inflict slow?

[ancient current]

slow, fragile

[urban sleet]

Arts amp asw iirc

[undone portal]

suzu also applies fragile to slowed enemies, even more with s3 active

[gray mulch]

You're thinking saria

[urban sleet]

oh yeah

[sleek dust]

Hmm I see, I say because I have Angelina already, so I wanna know how they compare

[gray mulch]

You bring her for the fragile

[knotty wave]

way diff uses

[undone portal]

suzuran is very much a fragile support option, angelinas more focused on slow utility + levitate if in is

[sleek dust]

I see!

[undone portal]

ange does also have a use for shifters through s3 applying weightless and is mod doing it again

[honest plinth]

matsukiri
ascalon

Which skills to use (master)

[sleek dust]

Eh, I lost my 50/50 chance anyways and got Magallan. Guess you can't win all of em

[undone portal]

s2 for both

[honest plinth]

thanks

[sleek estuary]

Is there any 5star who would like a mastery3?

[ancient current]

what are your options

[proven kelp]

Uika

[ancient current]

who's uika again

[undone portal]

only 5star coming to mind who feels significantly stronger at m3 is kroosalt s2
uikas the bard

[proven kelp]

Bard, yellow

[ancient current]

ah the bard

[undone portal]

uika s2 probably isnt a bad choice all things considered but yea, depends on the options

[echo hinge]

which anniversary has Shu? aka the best defender, i hope?

[ancient current]

cny banner

[echo hinge]

Christmas?

[ancient current]

chinese new year

[proven kelp]

You can check pins' first link

[undone portal]

chinese new year
she'll show up again when wang/ch'3n banner arrives, in other words

[solemn carbon]

shamare s2 is a good m3 pick unsure if its mentioned already just logged in

[gray mulch]

Cny for cn server, so summer for us

[echo hinge]

so like, after silverash

[ancient current]

3 months later

[echo hinge]

and she IS better than hoshi2?

[ancient current]

they aren't really alike

[undone portal]

different role. shus for healing, hoshialts for damage

[ancient current]

hoshi2 is a dps
shu's a utility healing defender

[lone valley]

As a defender in what she can bring, yes she is

[sleek estuary]

These few leveled and the rest are e0 lv1

[echo hinge]

so there isn't a better dps defender than hoshi2?

[undone portal]

canta s1 looks nice

[ancient current]

canta works ig ya

[undone portal]

shes the best at it for now, yea

[sleek estuary]

I see, as for 2nd m3 upgrade?

[echo hinge]

damn

[ancient current]

i mean look at her competition
eunectes?

[undone portal]

oh right, youve got 2 vouchers
id suggest raising shamare and then using it on s2

[ancient current]

i'll shut down my bias before i suggest tinman

do shamare ya that works

[undone portal]

tinman is fun if youre an is5/5starknights nerd

[ancient current]

he's peak in 5* lowop clears 🥹

[proven kelp]

Smh imagine not raising the Yuri team

[undone portal]

easy candidates for best 5stars when you remember theyve all got 60/30 def/res ignore built in

[proven kelp]

So real

[hot rapids]

When will the game start selling Outfits again?

[ancient current]

well, some are being sold right now...

[undone portal]

kinda depends on the outfit

[solemn carbon]

If I've got tags that guarantee a robot I wanna set it to 3h50 hey - is that pretty high risk? lower times can make the tags not stick right (it's nuker specialist for thermal-ex)

[gaunt jungle]

Hi everyone, was just wondering if making Orundum is effective and worth it

[ancient current]

it is not

[ancient current]

nah 3:50 is fine

[proven kelp]

Orumdumb farming is just for late game players who knows what they're doing

Which i did for 6 months

[undone portal]

3:50s your best odds at a robot, tag drop chance isnt that high

[pearl zinc]

Late game only!

[undone portal]

basically halts your lmd production and forces you to mine rocks indefinitely in exchange for like, 5 extra pulls a month if youre being smart and actually spending sanity on events when you should. not at all

[pearl zinc]

Almost every late game active players are stone miners

[celest vortex]

am using 252, do i use 2 facilities for pure gold and the other 3 for battle records?

[undone portal]

'almost every'? where are you getting that statistic from

[proven kelp]

"Trust me Bro"

[crimson sequoia]

bs dot com

[undone portal]

generally yes. you may want to swap over to 3gold if youve got proviso/shamare chewing through your gold supply

[humble arrow]

Does anyone here know the dorothy trap retreat trick?

[undone portal]

the whar

[celest vortex]

i just put random operators in my facilities

[humble arrow]

Like, how to do the dorothy trap retreat trick

[undone portal]

i suggest checking /baseskills in #bot-spam and pins in #r-i-i-c , your lmd/exp economy massively benefits from you actually paying attention to base

[celest vortex]

ty

[humble nova]

guys theres a cool tip, where you can just use exu2's skill 3 on a flagbearer or matsukiri for double the dp you gain from them on early deployment.
🤯

[undone portal]

is this about s3? just retreat the mine almost immediately after the damage registers on the enemy and it wont set off the others in range

[lone valley]

Wow
How worthless

[arctic hawk]

exu2 penance infinite dp hack 😱

[humble nova]

life hack wym 🔥

[lone valley]

Hack? Tu-
Hi queen

[undone portal]

why are we wasting exualt s3 on myrtle when we can use it on silveralt s3

[solemn carbon]

exu2 hyping up myrtle like if you don't all jump & cheer I'm gonna clear the lane

[humble nova]

that works

[undone portal]

this is non ines haver tech i fear

[humble arrow]

o thats it? thanks

[humble nova]

I have ines, but exu2 on a dp generator is insanely broken, for faster dps deployment cuz why tf not 🤷‍♂️ Either way, u get an exu2 deployment in there with extra dp for another dps wakka wakka aye aye

[runic willow]

sppedrun dp so you can early drop mudrock

[undone portal]

why myrtle anyway. with the initial sp exualt s3 gives you would get better mileage out of a higher rarity flag

[humble nova]

also i have hoshi2, so might as well use exu2's skill 3 on my matsukiri

[undone portal]

you have hoshi2, might as well use exu2 on hoshi2

[humble arrow]

i used to do this but exu2 s2 is just so much better sadly

[lusty snow]

What job tags should I look out for in recruitment other than top operator

[humble nova]

well yeah but by the time u use exu2 on ur dp generator, the cd will be free for ur hoshi2, cuz hoshi2 skill 3 cycle duhh

[humble arrow]

Senior operator

[humble nova]

if ur desperate for dps i guess thats fair, also barrier 🤌
But yeah

[lusty snow]

Other than senior😭

[undone portal]

any combo that guarantees a 4star or better. use krooster.com recruit calculator

[lusty snow]

Alr

[undone portal]

have you considered exu redeploy lets you get around the bad cycle

[humble nova]

wait a minute what 🤔 elaborate

are u talking about redeploying exu her self..?

[sand folio]

I'm a little bit lost on priorities right now. E2 is too expensive for me, I'm always out of money and exp, base is only giving me ~30k/day I guess, so I need to choose well who to upgrade first
(That's my usual squad, I also appreciate insights on who to change)

https://www.krooster.com/u/radio

[ancient lintel]

debuff, shift, sepcialists, support, crowd control, etc
anything that guarantees 4* or more

[trim thistle]

are the new ops decent for CC?

[pale tapir]

would double check validity of this with the recruitment calc but should help @lusty snow

[lusty snow]

Can you give me a link to it

[ancient lintel]

sakiko > hoshi > surtr > sash

[lusty snow]

Wait.
-# pins?

[undone portal]

deploy hoshi, s3 into seppuku
redeploy with exu, initial sp lets hoshi activate again
only thing holding you back from cycling any faster is that exu s3 summon has a minute of rdp time

[tiny abyss]

It's the standard rd time for summon no? so a little more than a minute

[ancient lintel]

70s ye

[humble nova]

oh, yeah well i already knew that. Its just the discovery of using a dpgen with exu s3 for early deployments is rather nice.
e.e

[ancient current]

it is valid. i should have updated it to the latest
last update shows 2025 because lol lmao even new additions didn't change tag combos

[undone portal]

my point is, if youre using exu s3 for dp gen.. youve got significantly better choices than myrtle
you have wanqing surely

[sand folio]

Duly noted!
Are the 5* band girls good or should I change them for others?

[west nebula]

Is it worth adding uika and mutsumi to this squad? if so who should i replace

[humble nova]

im using matsukiri, but yeah I have wanqing.

[ancient lintel]

tbh this is more than enough to like beat 3-8, and once you're over 3-8 you can grind IS for stuff

[proven kelp]

E2 Sakiko > E1 the Band > Build your base slaves and facilities > E2 the other 6*

If you need resources, you can get tons of general resources from RA
If you need chips, IS monthly squad is a quick free source of it

[ancient lintel]

they need sakiko, if ur using sakiko then ye use them with sakiko to buff sakiko

[humble nova]

is the band even worth putting in the team

[tiny abyss]

Didn't we only have OP counter on the skin store why is the Orundum one now

[ancient lintel]

if you're developed enough (which you are), then no

[undone portal]

only if you lack better dps options. sakiko doesnt really need them to function

[humble nova]

fair

[ancient lintel]

if ur starting off then ye just buff saki to oblivion

[random shard]

HAPPY FANS HAPPY HONMOON!
Only for the flavor

[humble nova]

LMAO the honmoon goes hard 🗣️ 🔥

[sand folio]

Is this the RA you are talking about? Never touched it before, gonna take a look

[proven kelp]

Check "Roadless Camelot" on the pins for a guide on it

[west nebula]

what is IS monthly squad?

[sand folio]

(in my defense it can be very overwhelming at first to have 300 menu options everywhere you click)

Welcome to a 6 years old gacha I guess

[gray mulch]

Middle of the three options at the bottom in IS

[ancient lintel]

There's 3 types of run you can do in IS, deep exploration, monthly squad and normal run

[sand folio]

With my present team should I be doing Annihilation? I tried but it's pretty hard to pass 200 for me...

[ancient lintel]

monthly squad and deep exploration I find are kinda easy to do
cause some of them dont require you to complete the run
every deep exploration gives you 10k LMD, every monthly squad gives you 30k, 4 tier 2 chips, 1 chip catalyst and 1 mod block iirc

[pale tapir]

yes, you should be trying to get 1800 cap in annihilation asap
borrow an operator if you need to

[gray mulch]

1800 orundum every week and first clears also give lots of rewards. The reset is in 12h

[sand folio]

I will make this my priority, duly noted

[gray mulch]

Sss is also resetting, that one doesn't cost sanity

[lime epoch]

Returning player here, when I signed into account.yo-star.com with my email, under Arknights it says "Failed to retrieve game data" is there something I'm missing?

[gray mulch]

Maybe try #tech-support

[pale tapir]

did u link ur old account to your yostar account on the website

[gaunt jungle]

Do people do IS? Or do they get the module mats from event stores?

[sand folio]

I honestly forgot for a second that orundum existed and this is a gacha

[undone portal]

yes, is/ra are basically free rewards if you spend the time to play them, since they dont cost sanity

[sand folio]

Oh damn....

[gaunt jungle]

Ah oops, I meant SSS

[pearl zinc]

A lot free stuffs and didn't cost anything, why not?
(Might cost your irl sanity)

[gray mulch]

RIP it's fine annih is more important

[undone portal]

sss lets you very comfortably skip module sticks/instruments in event shops
whether people actually bother to play it is another story

[wild cedar]

Do you think you need a guide

[gray mulch]

The missions also give some extra rewards. It's skippable after missions tho

[undone portal]

^ sss is just something to check in and play once a month, a little more to clear season missions and then youre done

[gaunt jungle]

Nice, thanks everyone!

I guess I'll stick to making progress in IS and RA for now

[undone portal]

annihilation proxy cards can also be used to skip sss runs so you dont really even have to sit through it again once youve cleared the current season maps

[sand folio]

Hmmm I mean, I was trying not to rush and take my time but time sensitive stuff are pushing me

[gaunt jungle]

Wow, didn't know proxy cards can be used in SSS as well.
That's actually so convenient

Ohhh I see it

[gray mulch]

Annihilation is time conuming and if you fail you lose sanity if you don't force close, so it's recommended to use a guide

[ebon pendant]

https://www.krooster.com/u/coffey
which 5star should I e2 (to get 6star upgrade voucher from event)

[undone portal]

yea you get enough of them every week to spend 5 tickets on the current rotating annihilation and then spend the last 2 on sss if need be

[gray mulch]

Yeah it got added more recently nice qol change

[tepid heart]

What does my team need besides mods and lvls?

[pearl zinc]

Gladia

[wild cedar]

Have you 400 any of the anni yet or none

[tepid heart]

why do i need gladiha? i mean ulpi works fine without her right?

[undone portal]

better replacements for myrtle/gravel. you should steamroll general content with this anyway

[stray gust]

quick check for some of the uncommon strong base skill 5*s (eg. Feater) any suggestion?

[gray mulch]

Base slaves like proviso shamare tequila are the highest recs. The event gives 5* upgrade voucher though

[pearl zinc]

30% damage reduction is really strong that make your ulipi tank anything without instant kill gimmick

[undone portal]

beyond feater and the usual recs (proviso/shamare/tequila), ill bring attention to:
waaifu/aroma/bryophyta for gold (aroma wants waaifu)
scene/ms.christine for exp (scene wants vermeil, christine wants tragodia)
morgan for trading post (morgan wants siege)

[stray gust]

how strong is aroma and ms christine?

[brazen gulch]

There's no way to make an operator target aerial enemies if it's not built into the kit, right?

[sand folio]

This is what I go so far (idk the difference between any of those)

[brazen gulch]

Yeah sad but expected. Thanks

[tepid heart]

and what could replace them? im starting to think i might need a caster but i have tragodia and hoshi

[undone portal]

best in slot if you have their ideal coworkers, but otherwise stick to the usual

[stray gust]

I am using scene vermeil ceobe, 3x 35%, and 3x 30% for my exp, with additional mizuki 3x 30% as spare.

[sand folio]

Just to be sure. Is this the one I should be focusing now? If I'm seeing this right it's going away in 12hrs

[undone portal]

gladiia honestly isnt a bad rec if you want ulpi to be entirely self sufficient
otherwise depends on who you have

[undone portal]

no, saltfin graveyard

[stray gust]

my gold is a gravel + 2x 30% gold with mizuki as backup, and 2 level 2 factory that has 2x 30% backup with >70% normally.

is there any 5* even worth aside from bryo?

[wild cedar]

Lungmen Outskirts https://b23.tv/drg5swa

Lumgmen Downtown https://b23.tv/O5AuoKN

there are many guides out there and I just picked two afk ones Rope in the first one needs skill level 4, if you need nara you could use mine

(Not YouTube guides because I am too lazy to navigate for the good ones)

[tepid heart]

i was considering eyja but 2 healers should be enought right?

[wild cedar]

No, focus on the ones that boost your limit and force close if you messed up to get the sanity back

[stray gust]

or my best funni option is to play uika since I already upgrade mutsumi?

[formal shadow]

I run aroma + waai fu in base

[stray gust]

I run waai fu + rosmontis in base that gives 90% for level 2

[ancient lintel]

Nah, those are practice annihilation, they dont give u anything apart from 1st clear rewards, if they go away they'll comeback eventually

[signal dragon]

does Ros need full exodia I forgot

[boreal osprey]

How good is the saki s1 + umiri s1 combo in later stages of the game compared to using s2 or s3?

[wild cedar]

It’s decent afk setup

[stray gust]

running ros + mr nothing is good enough with like 4/5 sui + whisperain + saileach

[signal dragon]

I thought ros needed more so I haven't been using her
thx

[stray gust]

you want dusk + ling + chongyue in CC and either nian or yu in random place

[wild cedar]

If you haven’t raise umiri, borrow and see if you like her #friend-id message

[sand folio]

Correct me if I'm wrong
Every week we get some Ani with weekly Oru reward. This time is Lungmen as perma and Saltfin as rotational. Getting 400 on all 3 gets me everything this time. Is that it??

[gray mulch]

No the rotation isn't every week, the 1800 cap is reset every week. This week just happens to be practice mission rotation week. Saltfin (current/main mission) is not rotating yet.

[wild cedar]

In order to increase the cap to 1800 you have to 400 lungmen outskirt, lungmen downtown and saltfin

[sand folio]

Duly noted, I will try those in that order

[ancient lintel]

Everyweek you have 4 anni to do for
Lungmen outskirts
Lungmen downtown
Chernobog
And rotating anni, which in this case is saltfine
Everything else is simmulations, they only give you 1st clear rewards and nothing else

[boreal osprey]

I feel like this is a new op combo, saki, monst3r and stainless

[gray mulch]

Saki doesn't need stainless she attacks continuously by default

[ancient lintel]

Chernobog, lungmen outskirts and lungmen downtown are all permamnent stages which means you can always do them for weekly
And you have to clear all the permanent stage + rotating stage for the 1k8 cap
@sand folio

[wild cedar]

Good luck, also for narantuya you just activate her skill 1 once and then no other action needed

[hushed niche]

how good is raidian in is6?

[wild cedar]

Very

[boreal osprey]

What i mean is stainless provide sp for monst3r, allowing s2 to charge faster, while saki and monst3r obtain 40 aspd passively, so monster can charge faster and thus allowing saki to charge even fasterwhen monst3r skill is on

[humble arrow]

Tuye s1 or s2?

[sand folio]

I'm already humbled and impressed

[wild cedar]

You could do that, but I still don’t think it’s super worth the effort

[undone portal]

are you open to me selling miksa

[wild cedar]

Why is he pot zero

[undone portal]

good question actually 70certs down the drain

[celest vortex]

can anyone help improve my squad
https://krooster.com/u/just-quartz-cement-02sr

[stray gust]

waste of effort, might as well insert suzuran/ela for the fragile that cost lower dp and is stronger

[wild cedar]

Pretty good for what you have, good luck on getting sakiko

[fiery canopy]

why are u saki less rn

[celest vortex]

whos sakiko

[wild cedar]

Oh em togawa sakiko, the banner rn

[undone portal]

our band is kinda pianoless 🥀
6star lord, new ceiling single target dps, on banner right now

[boreal osprey]

Saki "I will become god" ko

[celest vortex]

do i roll for sakiko?

[boreal osprey]

You should

Because once it is gone it is gone forever

[undone portal]

yes, excellent unit and shes a true limited

[celest vortex]

i only have enough for 30 rolls

[gray mulch]

Wait for next free 10 roll

[celest vortex]

10 if i dont spend originate prime for the extra 20

[stray gust]

we are looking at "7 digit cap damage over skill duration" meta

[undone portal]

use the free 10pulls, if you still dont have her consider dropping everything

[celest vortex]

is she really all about that 😮‍💨 telling me to drop every penny

[gray mulch]

Just do singles after the free pull until a 6 star

[fiery canopy]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1273778682892390541.gif?v=1&size=48&quality=lossless

[boreal osprey]

Bark and repeat saki chan constantly, this will increase your chances of saki decending from the stage to bless you

[glad sonnet]

whats a good 5* to use the E2 promote letter on?

[undone portal]

she is indeed all about that best st dps unit in the game if you ignore everything going on with ch'3n s3

[celest vortex]

i spend my originate prime too right 🤔

[gray mulch]

You can save for sa2/pra2 and wang/chen3 if you don't have fomo

[undone portal]

op should only go to either skins or pulls, so yea

[fiery canopy]

uika did that and saki did not come

[gray mulch]

With only 30 pulls I don't think you should go all in you might miss her anyways and then you're fucked

[fiery canopy]

erm

delete that before u get executed

[celest vortex]

thats what im thinking

[undone portal]

not as fucked as you could be, this is a new account with tons of stages to farm op off of still and its like 2months until silveralt shows up

[fiery canopy]

u can easily farm 300 pulls in 2 months anyways

[gray mulch]

Just do singles after 10 free bro

[severe wasp]

You can?

From what?

[fiery canopy]

if ur new, from just first clearing stages and other stuff

[undone portal]

thats.. what i mean by going all in you think im trying to sell saki p6?

[fiery canopy]

ori sold me pot6 saki

[gray mulch]

Get a refund

[undone portal]

ery youre tarnishing my image :realmad:

[fiery canopy]

it was worth it !

[stray gust]

can't afford pot6 when she doesn't want to come early

[severe wasp]

I mean even as a new player, really?

[fiery canopy]

yup

[gray mulch]

I meant singles till first 6* not till saki because they might keep missing

[wild cedar]

It’s irl sanity draining though, so I understand how some might not want to do it

[boreal osprey]

Ak should have a function of searching for a specific op in the support tab

[stray gust]

I have to deal with 120 hard pity saki chan and pray hard my last 10 pull didn't spook her but other 6* (or a double saki which is way harder)

[undone portal]

theres more than 300pulls worth of op from main/sidestories. only thing keeping a new account away from it is time/effort

[fiery canopy]

i farmed 500 pulls in 2 months when i was new so

[boreal osprey]

Can someone lend me their stainless pls?

[steady rain]

Who would be good to e2 here? Myrtel?

[undone portal]

try checking #friend-id
might wanna specify which skill youre looking for too

[gray mulch]

Who the fuck is selling e2 myrtle man

[undone portal]

wheres ethan

[wild cedar]

Get Ethan from the red ticket shop and e2 him

[steady rain]

Red ticket shoo... Lemme check

[pearl zinc]

Buy Ethan with certificate, he's cheap only around 100 iirc

[abstract mauve]

how much does she cost?

[gray mulch]

150

[pale tapir]

as a certified myrtle glazer I would also like to know who tf is shilling e2 myrtle to all these people

[steady rain]

Dont got enough currency

[undone portal]

cant wait for wanqing record restoration to arrive and we can truly let myrtle rest forever

[wild cedar]

Like material or?

[prisma scarab]

hi gang i literally just started for the collab erm. i’m stuck on ss-4 of the event is there any hope for me to at least get nyamu 😭

[gray mulch]

You already first cleared all the annih?

[pale tapir]

yes borrow an op or use your tequila

[steady rain]

The what now

[undone portal]

wheres your e2 operator
borrow someone to help

[gray mulch]

Practice annih resets tmrw so you can--

[steady rain]

Whats an annih

[gray mulch]

annihilation

[ionic fractal]

Annihilation

[prisma scarab]

i’ve been borrowing a lemuen(?) should i borrow someone else

[steady rain]

Where be that? Does that unlock after acertain main story?

[gray mulch]

For what?

[undone portal]

wis'adel/tragodia/exualt might get you better results
check your depot, you should have a voucher to e2 a 5star for free

[pale tapir]

lemon is gonna be tough, she takes too long to set up for these stages
I would recommend exu alt or something
one sec let me show u a clear I did for someone else
nvm I'm schizo it was SS-3 that i cleared for somene else

[severe wasp]

All of the main campaign is like 114 pulls iirc

You only have so many event stages you can do a week (2 for new players) which would be let's say an average of 10 stages per even so 20 per week, 2 months, that's 8 weeks, so 160 op or 57 pulls

Assuming they somehow get 1800 orundum a week from the get go from annihilation thats another 28.8, rounded up to 30 pulls

In total from the main stages a new player would generally be focussing on thats about 200 pulls in 2 months

Where's the extra 100 pulls coming from?? I know I missed some stuff like IS and RA and the first clears from annihilation but do they really give 100+ pulls in rewards from that?

[sand folio]

I was super happy...until I realized that "enemies killed" really means "killed"
Ok ok, I can do this

[gray mulch]

IS/RA don't give pull currency

[severe wasp]

Okay so now I'm even more confused where that extra 100 pulls is coming from

[glass cipher]

[gray mulch]

First clear annih does give some pull currency but idk about 100

[fiery canopy]

oh i had monthly card so i did more event stages than normal

[gray mulch]

Actually it's 5 pulls per first clear, so maybe you can get 100 depending on rotation

[severe wasp]

Ah ic ic

Wait monthly card gets you more event stages?

[fiery canopy]

erm 10 stages per week? i was clearing entire side stories per day

[formal shadow]

monthly card gives small sanity pot each day alongside the orundumb

[undone portal]

monthly card gives you sanity potions, more stages you can get through every day

[fiery canopy]

dont forget new players refresh sanity each lvl so yeah

[sand folio]

Btw, how long do we have to wait to use the same friend support again?

[prisma scarab]

for clearing the event stages as a very slow learning noob who do you guys recommend i e2 🥹

[wild cedar]

Just refresh, you’ll find it again, no cd or anything

[severe wasp]

Yeah

But isn't the red thing you use to get more event stages 2 per week?

[sand folio]

Wait...for real?? Oh sweet lord

[gray mulch]

Shamare assuming you have e2 tequila is a good base slave

[pale tapir]

I would e2 shamare for base, less so for combat
but e2 tequila first

[fiery canopy]

twas daily iirc

[undone portal]

-# can i sell mutsumi e2? her e2 mat sanity cost is kinda ridiculous
but yea go tequila

[formal shadow]

I feel like you're underestimating the amount of op you can get from story alone

[severe wasp]

????

Did they nerf that?

[fiery canopy]

oh i meant the

monthly card sanity consumable woops

[fiery canopy]

if ur new ur maxing out 2 side stories per week if ur active

[gray mulch]

It was always weekly

[fiery canopy]

yeah

[undone portal]

erys point is that monthly card lets you get through more event stages at once per day before you have to wait for sanity refill

[glass cipher]

dam i think theres a day left for weekly reset? i need to use both crystals lmao

[lofty anchor]

first 6* !!!!

[severe wasp]

Oh wait

I see where my calculation went wrong

[prisma scarab]

is tequila free in one of the old events? my bad. new gacha game ui always challenges me lol...

[fiery canopy]

rbp curse

[wild cedar]

I, err

[gray mulch]

Are you open to rerolling

[severe wasp]

I counted all the story stages but didn't do the op you get from the challenge stages too

[undone portal]

ho'ol.. shes uh. shes usable

[gray mulch]

Usable is a strong word for hool

[severe crypt]

Sup guys

[fiery canopy]

erm u get way more pulls clearing the past event stages that u unlock with the weekly crystals and it's def not 10 event stages per week more like 60 stages per week or smth and every weekly reset u gain 2 of the crystals

[wild cedar]

It’s your fault I am sure

[undone portal]

yes, 'dossoles holiday'

[gray mulch]

Reported for cursing newbie pulls

[prisma scarab]

ok i will go get tequila and e2 him and then try ss-4 again... thank you everyone for the advice 🔥

[glad sonnet]

Any of these worth using this on? kinda wanna get a E2 asap so I can use S2 supports, so needs to be something i'd use in my party.

[fiery canopy]

istg rbp gets summoned without even directly mentioning him

[fiery canopy]

urblind

[gray mulch]

Not really

[wild cedar]

Get Specter from your voucher and e2 her

[severe wasp]

About 114 pulls from normal story, with challenge stages included it's about 200

Also with event stages it'd be about 20 per event depending on the event, so 40 per week

Yeah that's my bad my calculations were way off since I missed some major sources of op

It should definitely be possible to get 300+ pulls in 2 months yeah

[glad sonnet]

already used it on something else recomenned by here in the pins.

[gray mulch]

Either specter if you still have voucher or grab tequila from dossoles holiday (see gif above)

[undone portal]

tequilas a better use of the voucher even with specter

[glad sonnet]

Really wish I went with specter though. too late now.

[gray mulch]

Third option is the green hair girl from saki banner

[balmy ibex]

I wonder how many gold certs I can get from 400 expedited recruits

[glad sonnet]

People keep glazing that char and I don't get why That tequila char

[severe wasp]

Personally I prefer using it on specter

Solely because specter is prettier and I like all the abyssal hunters characters a lot

[undone portal]

because his dps is good and he retires gracefully into being a base worker once you have better dps units

[gray mulch]

Well tequila was the official rec until a few days ago we switched to specter rec because specter is more newbie friendly

[undone portal]

whos we

[stray gust]

guys any suggestion to e2 which 5* for the funni/base/whatever reason?

[odd sky]

aroma bryo

[severe wasp]

A mod in the previous discussion when that happened

[pale tapir]

bryo

[cinder stag]

does sakiko mod2 no longer dealing reduced ranged damage count in s2? since i dont think its an activated skill?

[gray mulch]

Did you miss it? #help message

[glad sonnet]

Yeah as specter is easier to use for new players, you still get tequila though and use him. But specter is more useful to a new player

[stray gust]

how strong is aroma base skill to worth it?

[severe crypt]

So how long till all the #help dwellers catch the new selector pick memo 🥹

[wanton meadow]

I think other than the damage being good, the one thing people forget is new players don't have units that can tank bosses so early, and somehow this unit is just so damn tanky for no reason

[odd sky]

a week

[severe wasp]

Tldr reasoning

Newbies are well newbies and don't know how to use tequila intuitively so specter is more useful to pick up to e2 while rushing e1 tequilla

[undone portal]

yes, ranged damage penalty is always removed by mod with s2

[wild cedar]

If you’re still not convinced, use it on a band girl I guess

[exotic ocean]

Is typhoon still worth buying using 180 certs (no wisadel/no exu alt)

[cinder stag]

got it, thanks

[stray gust]

also self heal + panic button for immortality

[formal shadow]

such a shame imo but it is how it is 🥀

[late magnet]

Is there an approximation of how long until the next important banner? I kinda want to pull for more chars (already got sakiko and all the bad members) but dont know if there is any need to save for now

[glad sonnet]

yeah I want a E2 char in my squad so I can use e2 supports, I can probg clear event stage 4/5 with a E2 wisadel pretty damn easy as she'll just delete stuff.

[gray mulch]

You're correct

[undone portal]

i dont agree with the reasoning, but it is what it is
i will continue selling teq

[glad sonnet]

but I lack a e2 so, I am stuck with e1 supports.

[lyric lagoon]

truly the “no block so he not good” brainrot

[severe wasp]

Yeah also also pretty tanky in her own right, 3 blocks, and can Lowkey just replace a defender for much of the early game as a lane holder while doing aoe damage to all that they block

[sly sigil]

Typhon is mostly just a laneholder, so I don't think she's worth it since that's an easily filled role and you already have a bunch of laneholder options on your account

[severe crypt]

I saw the convo, what answer are you expecting here

[covert knot]

Dunno some guy recommended to ask here

[shadow bay]

i need ur validation for my bad decisions

[wild cedar]

Don’t do it

[formal shadow]

@ rechord :clueless:

[undone portal]

i raised siege/fartooth/weedy as a newbie and got by just fine if that tells you anything

[stray gust]

invest in all 5 band members

[glad sonnet]

But yeah, as a newer player i'd prob have picked specter over Teq if she was reccomended easly. To late now though, I may never get specter now.

[lyric lagoon]

bro thinks this is the frathouse where everyone gets drunk and pushes each other to make bad decisions

[severe crypt]

Ykw I think were answering his question pretty well

[formal shadow]

it's not the end of the world. I'm a specter hater so I'm biased though

[shadow bay]

ur not missing a lot dw

im surprised to actually see specter in this day and age

[covert knot]

I currently only have the 2 good band members I think I'm stuck with the good operators

[formal shadow]

it's because newbies keep complaining that tequila is too hard to use :realmad:

[stray gust]

wdym 2 good band members?

[gray mulch]

Guys it's e2 teq + e1 lapp vs e1 teq + e2 specter
Teq is always being reccommended just not for the e2 voucher. The one we're dropping is lapp

[covert knot]

Mutsumi and Sakiko

[glad sonnet]

I also have no idea how to do the one on the left, and the one on the right... i have 10 days to do it.

[lyric lagoon]

truly an en moment

[stray gust]

5* players use all 4 of the 5* band members

[undone portal]

umiri slander wtfart

[wild cedar]

There’s no limit to those quests, the timer is for something else

[severe crypt]

Assuming you’re a newbie, idt you’d wanna get into 5 star knights immediately

[formal shadow]

even then I would rather e2 tequila over specter

[glad sonnet]

Whats the timer for?

[covert knot]

Nobody said anything good about her yet so am I missing something?

[formal shadow]

I guess people just really like specter e2 talent

[undone portal]

umiri is kinda a mini ascalon, pretty good icl

[glad sonnet]

OH I see now, it unlocks all resource missions for the next 10 days

[covert knot]

Ahh

[wild cedar]

Opening all your supply stages, it goes into rotation afterwards

[glad sonnet]

How do I get the 2nd support char thou? as currently all I can list is a 5* no one is ever going to use.

[glass cipher]

took like 3hours but it was afk so

[lyric lagoon]

more like they want brainrot ground tile op that can clear whoever’s being blocked

[formal shadow]

reception room upgrade

[buoyant sigil]

At about which point in the main story should I be able to 3 star dossoles 5 for tequila / new player btw

[wild cedar]

I’ve been saying good about her all day and I’m sad to hear that

[lyric lagoon]

reception room upgrgade which we highly don’t recommend

[stray gust]

mutsumi is an exception because she offers total damage as high as your average 6* can do, but subjectively all 4 of them are decent to good among the 5* category.

[formal shadow]

you can do it really early on. Arf has 0 investment guide on it

[undone portal]

immediately when you start
check out arflanyr on youtube

[gray mulch]

There is a e0l1 guide

[wild cedar]

Second one is fine, third one is bad

[glad sonnet]

Any reason why? I was just going to get it to level 2 for now. I got more important things to get to lv 3 first.

[lusty snow]

Ive rerolled my account, I’m tryna get tequila but stuck on DH-3, should add any one

[formal shadow]

it means dropping a factory level in 252

[stray gust]

office and reception room is bad

[glad sonnet]

I guess because of power reasons?

[buoyant sigil]

Oh— I’ve been struggling pointlessly, huh? Wow. I’ll be sure to look it up to fix my mess up.
Also. Any tips on how to use him? I know he’s good, but I’ve seen people not recommend him for newbies; knowing a little before getting the guy would help.

[worldly sky]

borrow wisadel

[stray gust]

in EN we always suggest 252 setup and with that setup you want your right to be as low level as possible

[undone portal]

yes, 252 doesnt have all available power to work with so its better spent on a factory

[glad sonnet]

Currentl;y I have 3 power plants, 3 factorys and 3 trading posts at lv 2

[lusty snow]

I can’t find anyone with wis

The supports I get have her BARLEY leveled

[fiery canopy]

borrow a golden glow her e1 is strong

[formal shadow]

2 trade post 5 factory 2 power plant

[undone portal]

if youre borrowing at e1, exualt s2 exists

[glad sonnet]

well guess I can just demolish 2 and rebuild.

[lusty snow]

Can’t find some one with that either

[stray gust]

fundamentally you want a level 2 TP with provido and a level 3 TP with tequila shamare setup

[shadow bay]

put him down
let him charge his skill

let him riot when skill charged and/or have enemies in sight

just simple

[fiery canopy]

i think gg e1 > exu2 e1 and dossoles enemies have high def

[lusty snow]

They all have s1

[lyric lagoon]

if:

• see strong enemy and skill = red, use skill
• see weak enemy and skill = red, use skill only if there’s too many
• see strong enemy and skill not red = wait a little longer
• no enemy -> no need to use skill

[glad sonnet]

what lv support u can use depends on what lv chars are in your squad, you need a E1 char to be able to use E1 supports, same for E2.

[lusty snow]

Ye Ik

[formal shadow]

Tequila is basically if you see this and there are enemies you want to kill, press skill

[tepid thistle]

You know you can use your E2 voucher on lappland then get the E2 voucher for tequilla later right?This will allow you to borrow E2 wisadel or E2 exusai

[glad sonnet]

E1 a 3* its dirt cheap

[shadow bay]

newbies only problem with tequila is... he cant block off skill

which is tbh easy to play with like... just plop a defender behind him or something

[lusty snow]

What later

[buoyant sigil]

Surprisingly simple. That’s good. I’ve heard he has no block— how should I protect him from ranged enemies?

[wild cedar]

Don’t recommend lappland please…

[glad sonnet]

we get 2 e2 vouchers?

[tepid thistle]

Ok my bad

[lusty snow]

Yeah I already learnt my lesson

[fiery canopy]

tequila is tanky

[formal shadow]

liberators are fairly tanky stat wise

[tepid thistle]

Yes as long as you complete the training event(basically upgrading 5 stars)

[undone portal]

no block offskill means he doesnt need to worry about melee enemies until his skill is on
hes tanky enough to live against ranged enemies

[glad sonnet]

yeah I followed the pin here, and it said to get lapland and silence.

[buoyant sigil]

Ohh, that’s good. Very good. I guess he’d just need to be on Silence’s range or something.

[shadow bay]

watch ur deployment order if ur that concerned for him

[ebon quest]

Is Ptilopsis worth E2 ing?

[lusty snow]

Can’t, I’m in debt

[glad sonnet]

That was what I followed from a few days ago.

[shadow bay]

its nice if u have no prio to build

[lyric lagoon]

he can last a few hits, but if you put a gummy or smth behind him, he can live

[stray gust]

depending on how far you are into the game, and if you have momoka/m3/adele

[formal shadow]

they're talking about e2 voucher which is a waste

[wild cedar]

I mean e2 lappland is not worth

[gray mulch]

Yeah our rec changed a couple days ago from lapp to spec but it's fine either way

[lusty snow]

Yeah

[pine fjord]

Who do I get from these things

[formal shadow]

specter, surtr, proviso :ya:

[tepid thistle]

Pins

[glad sonnet]

Should I chose specter over Ptil on day 7?

[gray mulch]

Ptilo surtr proviso

[buoyant sigil]

Gummy? Hmm?

[ebon quest]

M3 like monst3r? If so i have her, the rest, no

[wild cedar]

Ptilopsis Surtr Proviso

[lyric lagoon]

4* defender that can heal allies

[buoyant sigil]

I’m afraid I don’t own her; what does she do?

[undone portal]

is the specter e2 rec taking gladiia into consideration

[gray mulch]

Different voucher, you're fine just get ptilo

[fiery canopy]

oh just invest on m3 shes enough

[formal shadow]

no because who is bothering to get gladiia?

[lyric lagoon]

basically saria lite edition

[buoyant sigil]

Ooh! Can I get her from recruitment?

[glad sonnet]

yeah her sp regen passive skill that effects everyone makes her worth using alone.

[tepid thistle]

Yes

[pale tapir]

objectively no
but it sounds a lot like you really want specter so like... just get her if you really like her
idk what's on that voucher tho
she might not even be on it

[formal shadow]

the consideration was definitely made on specter's stats alone

[ebon quest]

She's already E2 with two of her skills at m3 tho, so i guess I'll hold off on building any medics for now

[undone portal]

then i understand it even less infrequent help regular L

[glad sonnet]

I can easly see WHY, Ptil is reccomended from the day 7 voucher. 30% faster skill charging.

[fiery canopy]

save ur resources ye

[glad sonnet]

You guys sayd you get a second 5* e2 voucher? when is that?

[gray mulch]

Current training event

[shadow bay]

u actually after for her burst heal... the sp charge buff is just cherry on top

[buoyant sigil]

As a newbie I’m finding specter very lackluster and overall just block fodder given how I got surtr from the temp voucher

[tepid thistle]

Collab training event

[wanton meadow]

Hmm aoe guards seem to be p useful for comfortable farming some stages, do i build nyamu for it? Or do i just get myself comfortable with popukar gaming?

[undone portal]

we should just prep a writeup on how to use tequila, like what nao wrote earlier, and direct newbies to it alongside e2 teq recommendation

[glad sonnet]

Ahh no way I can afford to do that

[shadow bay]

because she want e2

she is doodoo at e1

[buoyant sigil]

Yeah, I got her e2

[tepid thistle]

This is doable for a new player.Just not the lvl 80 5 star

[steady rain]

Hlw do u get more of the unit summon currency in annih?

[fiery canopy]

vg

[pale tapir]

then it's a case of comparing a 5* to a 6* that used to be meta

[untold snow]

Shamare is from banner yeh?

[glad sonnet]

I mean it seems like a massive waste of resouces

[buoyant sigil]

Oh yeah. That was an oversight. Thanks for pointing that out.

[stray gust]

specter has a better spike at e2 compared to lappland as long as you are not dealing with spiders

[pale tapir]

from k*rnel banner, don't pull on that

[fiery canopy]

plop ur fang in there and wait for a few sec

[tepid thistle]

There are a good amount of 5 stars you need to E1 so just do it

[gray mulch]

It's worth doing https://youtu.be/Nrij0l_coKg?si=ghS0dpGoh11G4WvK

[shadow bay]

i dont think ur ready to take this anni with that roster investment

[glad sonnet]

I am also trying ot get Sakiko to E2 as well

[formal shadow]

I remember how it went. Basically it was the fact that lappland damage isn't really that great and silence (the debuff) is not actually as important as people have been shilling it to be especially with e2 ticket, she's a better pick (cause the newbie 5* voucher is pretty bad). And then it being consideration for e2 to have another source of damage alongside tequila I guess

[untold snow]

Is there any way 8 can get her beside gacha? L8ke recuitment

[steady rain]

Ohh oke oke

[buoyant sigil]

What tags do I put in recruiting for Gummy? Hmm.

[fiery canopy]

yeah u can get her from recruit

[shadow bay]

focus on clearing the 1st three annihilation first yeh.... ask the chats for specifics

also e1 sl7 ur units for usability

[formal shadow]

I can understand cause centurian is a good archetype for newbies. I just very much dislike specter s2

[fiery canopy]

there's also tag combination without senior op that can give u a chance to get shamare

[tepid thistle]

defense healing

[untold snow]

Wat tag

[lyric lagoon]

spot jumpscare

[fiery canopy]

lemme find

[odd sky]

supporter debuff

[undone portal]

kinda leaves open an angle to sell e2 varkaris to newbies in 4months ish

[wild cedar]

No specifics, only heal/denfense/defender and you’ll get spot most of the time

[shadow bay]

i would just settle with spot rather chasing with gummy

[steady rain]

Anyone here worth using?

[formal shadow]

gummy isn't that useful

[wanton meadow]

Isn't it just the lack of arts damage for a new player's account (not counting if they reroll) that pushes lapp over specter in those newbie guides? Cos otherwise your other options are midnight and arene which i heard are underwhelming compared to popukar vs specter

[gray mulch]

Speaking of gummy

[buoyant sigil]

Welp! Still worth though. Not like I own spot either ><

[tepid thistle]

She is useful early game

[pale tapir]

gummy's nice in IS

[undone portal]

click/pinecone/totter are pretty good

[wild cedar]

Gummy is nice in lowend guides

[shadow bay]

spot easy to recruit given hes a 3 star... just spam healing defender/defense

[buoyant sigil]

Oh, oh yeah. What’s good anti-air early in? Those drones are god awful sometimes.

[formal shadow]

nah, click and steward does well for early game and a lot of the fights can be brute forced with overwhelming phys damage which tequila is pretty decent at

[ancient lintel]

Gummy is nice ye
Another species of shu

[shadow bay]

kroos

[glad sonnet]

Spot works too if you don't got gummy.

[undone portal]

kroos/kroosalt/rangers/insider

[lyric lagoon]

kroos and kroos alter should do fine enough

[gray mulch]

Gummy perfumer click pinecone totter

[stray gust]

"dislike specter s2"? the immortality part or the self stun after skill to mitigate damage part?

[lusty snow]

I’m stuck on DH-4 now

[formal shadow]

self stun and the skill cycle

[untold snow]

Is there any nice base slave that need e1

[earnest osprey]

What level is considered mid game?

[shadow bay]

the problem with gummy is... she heal scratches... and when the time u need her heals she dont have charges

although she seen recognition in IS nowadays coz 4 star cost 0 hope... back then spot is the go to healing defender for lower rarity

[pseudo flume]

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNPoUbQTglPVTeUFJMCfZOCEst5NEfqfw&si=pn6wiYypHuEXOase

[buoyant sigil]

Do y’all recommend getting kroos’ alt for a better anti-air instead of investing into the standard one?

[steady rain]

Should i replace spot with gummy? And should i replace kroos with the other recommended archer?

[undone portal]

a lot of 4stars. check /baseskills in #bot-spam

[formal shadow]

high sp cost, lasts for not long, and then self stuns herself for 10 seconds. I really don't like it

[untold snow]

Idk 30? Im 35 and at e2

[pseudo flume]

Invest in both

[pale tapir]

-# yeah but spot's a furry and not a cute russian bear girl
@buoyant sigil yes, but you can use both together since 3* kroos cheap af

[severe wasp]

Kroos alt is peak

[shadow bay]

yep

its also recommend to use the 2 kroos as main marksmen

[stray gust]

imagine not self stun and remain blocking enemies after skill ends and leaving with 1 hp

[buoyant sigil]

Oho! That’s nice to hear. I’ll be getting-leveling both. I’m guessing the stages to earn the alt aren’t hard at all?

[steady rain]

[glad sonnet]

Heard good things and shes free.

[south fog]

Is there a background without this ramdom guy 🤔

[severe wasp]

Wait chat what's exusiais best skill?

[lyric lagoon]

mfw too weak to even kill all the enemies and let them leak

[hybrid bluff]

guys can I buy tragdio from the cret shop?

[stray gust]

also at m3 it should last like 20(?) seconds

[shadow bay]

og? s3

[tepid thistle]

No.At least not yet

[lofty anchor]

are any of the new event units (5*s) good

[glad sonnet]

Kroos alt is one I would prob take to E1/e2 for the event as shes a char i'd actually use

[lyric lagoon]

not for another 2 years

[hybrid bluff]

so I need to pull him 😔

[stray gust]

also 5 seconds boot up upon deployment from my memory

[pseudo flume]

No

[severe wasp]

Yeah that checks out 💔

Gotta e2 her at some point I guess

[severe crypt]

“Random guy”

[lyric lagoon]

he’ll get a banner rerun, so you have your chance there

[ancient lintel]

By that time a stronger smarter and better trag might be out

[south fog]

Thank you

[shadow bay]

tbh i dont know who is he

frfr

[steady rain]

Should i replace spot with gummy? And should i replace kroos with the other recommended archer?

[formal shadow]

15 seconds and the point is I don't care about the immortality part of skill. It's basically just about as gimmick as all the other immortality stuff in the game

[severe wasp]

Poor dokutah 💔

[south fog]

Problaby a operator 🤔

[shadow bay]

nope ur fine using spot

[hybrid bluff]

should I save 300 pulls to get wis in sliverash alter ?

[glad sonnet]

Gummy is a better spot as she passivly heals and doesn't need to use a skill to do it. I just only have spot currently.

[severe crypt]

We cannot be this Arknights IP blind

[shadow bay]

nope

dont spark unless simp

[proven kelp]

No
The only advantage of Lappland than Specter is that she makes good work for Spiders, which is only relevant for a few chapters
After that Specter is just generally a better Laneholder than Lappland

Lappland's Arts is nice, but you can also just brute force high def with Tequila, even a e1 Tequila is more than enough to handle them
Or if you really need Arts, Steward is enough

[undone portal]

spot is fine
if youre fine with letting go of aerial priority targeting, kroos > totter is a simple upgrade

[ancient lintel]

If she's your wife ye, if not then dont

[buoyant sigil]

^^ as in kroos alt

[south fog]

I tought we are the doctors

[hybrid bluff]

but wis is too broken :()

[shadow bay]

and 300 is a lot of pull for a cockroach

[glad sonnet]

Steward is worth e1'ing?

[untold snow]

O ok ty

[ancient lintel]

So is trag, exu2, wang, bla bla bla

[severe wasp]

We are

That's us

[steady rain]

Then should i replace anyone with Perfumer/Totter

[shadow bay]

sure cheap caster... cost effective unit

[proven kelp]

Yes

[hybrid bluff]

damn.... no chance for newcomer 😔

[glad sonnet]

Cool i'll do that now.

[formal shadow]

steward e1 is also an easy 25% fac for newbie so multiple value

[steady rain]

Unfortunately air has always been a problem for me

[ancient lintel]

I mean, just skrillfully offrate her

[stray gust]

the funny part here is that we will never know when hypergryph decides to gimmick an event to have annoying shit that is not immune to silence.

[gray mulch]

Get 5* kroos from side story instead

[pseudo flume]

Replace Pinecone with Kroos2

[undone portal]

then replace her with kroosalt instead

[south fog]

I think i need to watch the anime to understand about the lor

[glad sonnet]

even better

[steady rain]

Oke oke

[pale tapir]

pinecone isn't really used for anti air
kroos def better for that

[undone portal]

pinecones more an aoe dps tool

[severe wasp]

Pinecone is more budget aoe if you need it

[shadow bay]

u have ptilo ur fine sleeping with perfumer, although e1 her coz she a base slave

i would bother with totter seems like u settled already with snipers

[slim tusk]

you can use pine for air,it's fine

[hybrid bluff]

is heidi good

[pale tapir]

you can but she won't be very effective at it
you have to put her in awkward spots and most air units move out of her range rather quickly

[proven kelp]

If they decide to do another SN shenanigans, you can just you know, borrow someone who can silence

And I really doubt they will add a gimmick that's only out is with Silence
Even Predators can be stunned to remove their dodge

[formal shadow]

no. She has has very very little use case

[severe wasp]

Does she even have enough range for good anti air defense?

[shadow bay]

good thing i e2 waai fuu

[glad sonnet]

gyuess for the event I can e1 lapland, and silence, don't really hav emuch other choice

[gray mulch]

Newbies can get jaye from recruit too so they're not completely locked out of silence

[slim tusk]

you just get around it,sometimes drone comes in drove like in a particular chapter
she is good in that

[pseudo flume]

Depends

[glad sonnet]

these are the only 5*'s I have.

[pale tapir]

point is she can do it, and there are cases where she will be a good option for it, but it's not her main role and in most cases you'd be better off using kroos variants

[ancient lintel]

Where's your liquor man?

[glad sonnet]

I could e1/2 the kroo from the event.

[severe wasp]

Or kroos alter

[gray mulch]

Bruh just get tequilla

[proven kelp]

Band Doko

[glad sonnet]

didn';t get him yet.

[royal swan]

Just get tequila or kroos alter and use it on them

[ancient lintel]

"Throw them in the trash bin" shimashita

[severe wasp]

I'm sentencing you to the event stage mines to grind for Kroos alter and tequila

[slim tusk]

there are og kroos there,idk what's the hold up

[royal swan]

Save it until then, ur not forced to use it right away

[proven kelp]

[glad sonnet]

I assume the alter is Kroos the Keen glint?

[pseudo flume]

Ya

[gray mulch]

But kroos is fine at e1, you wanna use e2 on teq or band member

[pale tapir]

their pinecone is e0 lv1 bruh she ain't doin shi on that team

[slim tusk]

??
just raise them?

[glad sonnet]

I heard Teq doesn't need to be e2 either and he's fine at e1. from in here.

[gray mulch]

Yes but he benefits more than the other options you have

[proven kelp]

He mostly cares about his skill level out of anything

[glad sonnet]

can't argue with that.

[gray mulch]

Ideally you get the dollkeeper from saki banner methinks

[pale tapir]

I made my point already, they have no reason to be using pinecone when they could be raising krooster or tequila instead, both of whom are much better value

[glad sonnet]

well to the mines, I already unlocked the event stage for kroos alt and Teq I just need to do them.

[proven kelp]

I might sound Schizo
But I'd honestly rather give the e2 on Mutsumi if you have Saki

[wild cedar]

Just don’t use it on him if you don’t want to

[pseudo flume]

You are

[tepid thistle]

the thing is there is also a free E2 selector from training event

[gray mulch]

If you don't get the dollkeeper just use on teq

[glad sonnet]

I have Sakiko she is carryoing me SO hard lol

[shadow bay]

how yall remember the names of the schizo school girls?

[proven kelp]

Keep pulling on the banner for the 5* trust

[pine fjord]

Should I use the elite 2 upgrade on myrtle?

[ancient lintel]

We tried somethin that nobody in here has done before, reading

[severe wasp]

I actually gotta start working to get my tequila up to e2 for the event thing

I want to get e2 lava the purgatory but I don't wanna use resources on lava so I'm using my resources on good characters I should be raising for that event

[hybrid bluff]

is perfumer good? I don't have her

[pine fjord]

It's only 4 stars btw

[royal swan]

Ethan, get his module after

[severe wasp]

I remember uika, mutsumi, sakiko, nyamu, and the black haired one

[slim tusk]

tequila is good but krooster ain't allat
on my alt i end up not using krooster much

[royal swan]

She's alright and you will get her eventually dw

[gray mulch]

The event gives you another e2 voucher so you can use one on teq now, and see if you get dollkeeper/bard with the free 10 later, and if you do use the second voucher on them ye

[wild cedar]

Umiri, just think of it as also starting with u

[proven kelp]

I mean it's not that hard

Uika and Nyamu are the easiest to remember
One is the bad 5*, the other one is the yuri

So all you have to keep in mind is just Umiri and Mutsumi

[glad sonnet]

What about Umiri? she worth e2ing?

[proven kelp]

She's great buffer for Saki
Great partner to generate fever with Mutsumi

[gray mulch]

Umiri is the bard right? She's the second best option I think
